Manitoba Theatre Centre presents Looking Back – West at The Tom Hendry Theatre Warehouse from February 18th to March 6th. Tickets range from $6 to $38 depending on age, date and seat section.

Here is an excerpt from the MTC website:

What if you’re at a turning point in your life and you’re only 13? Beaten but not broken, Perry leaves an unstable family life to walk the perilous line as a teenage runaway. As he searches for a sense of home, Perry connects with other wounded souls – from a fellow runaway to the flawed but well-meaning family who takes him in.

From a spot in Madison Square Park in New York City, Perry takes us on a captivating adventure that is at once heartbreaking, surprising and full of promise.

Manitoba Theatre Centre presents Mother Courage at The John Hirsch Theatre Mainstage from February 10th through March 6th. Tickets are now on sale and range from $15 to $85 depending on age, date and seat section.

Here is an excerpt from the MTC website:

One of the great dramatic creations of the modern stage, Mother Courage and Her Children
is a both a corrosive comedy and a profound statement against war. The play follows the
worldly-wise Mother Courage who trails the armies during a war in Europe, shadowing the destruction
as she sells provisions from her wagon to whoever will grease her palm. But the war exacts a price – as war always does – and Mother Courage’s soaring profits are tempered by searing loss. In this epic masterpiece, Brecht pits human virtue against the business of war.
